Thank you for the compliment to my review! It really is worth reading and it's good because its very short so the emotional turmoil can be harnessed into the scope of a few hours.Raya raymond wrote: ↑21 Apr 2018, 06:38 I love this review. I think this book is very emotive. I don't like reading stories that break my heart but something about how well written this review is, makes me wanna read it.

I like that you've notated that our children could benefit from this book. For whatever reason, this never crossed my mind, but it is such an astute obervation. This is precicelly the type of even our children should learn about.lilserenity56 wrote: ↑20 Apr 2018, 13:57 This is great reading and a great learning experience. As of today things have changed to a degree but there is still war and power used to the peoples' decisions.

I reacted in much the same way! I wasn't blown away until the book began to progress and it was then that I began to reflect on the power in the first chapter. Please comment on a forum I've begun about the different chapters. I would to hear your opinion. I think it's called something like "favorite story of the eight."Honourable419 wrote: ↑20 Apr 2018, 13:43 I didn't feel a huge emotional pull in the first two stories but tas it continued and I started understanding the idea, I realized there was more emotion in the beginning than I originally attributed. This is overwhelming, the writer builds up emotion and suspense simultaneously in the readers mind spurring up a sort flashbacks and imagination.

I would love to hear more about your thoughts. Which was your favorite chapter? I started a forum called "favorite story of the eight" where we can discuss the different metaphors.Kibetious wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 16:05 Nice to see that you were able to give credit to the book and the writer with the 4 out of 4 stars rating. Indeed, the book is good and we all can draw a lesson or two. There is optimism written all over the sad stories that freedom will ring in this nation one day.

Thank you so much for reading my review, and for your comment. I hope you get a chance to read the book.PlanetHauth wrote: ↑20 Apr 2018, 00:05 I have to say, I know absolutely nothing about the circumstances surrounding the events of this book, nor do I know anything about the events of this book. I fear too many around the world try to cover up events that should be public knowledge. It's a scary thought realizing just how much influence or power someone can have if they're capable of almost completely covering up the slaughter of nearly 30,000 people.
This seems like a fascinating and, in my case, an important read.
